Slim, light and durable pure titanium
body
The slim, sleek Sony® HDR-TG5V
Handycam® camcorder is constructed
of pure titanium. This remarkably
durable and lightweight metal makes
the HDR-TG5V an ideal travel
companion that can be carried with
ease and slipped into a pocket or
purse reducing the risk of nicks and
scratches.
4 megapixel still image capture
4 megapixel still image capture lets
you take high resolution digital photos.
Built-in Intelligent Flash
For added clarity and detail when
taking pictures in low-light situations,
the built-in flash reduces shadows and
improves pictures.
Face Detection technology for Video
Footage and Digital Still Photos
Made possible by the BIONZ™ image
processing engine, Face Detection
technology recognizes up to 8 faces
anywhere in the frame and by selecting
the most prominent, automatically
controls focus, exposure, and color to
help capture smiling faces brightly and
clearly. Face Detection technology also
helps make skin tones look natural
without affecting other colors in the
image. With variable bit allocation, the
HDR-TG5V allocates encoding bits on
detected face areas prior to encoding
other parts of the picture, making them
sharper and clearer. In still picture
mode, Face Detection technology sets
the flash level to optimize picture
clarity.
Smile Shutter™ technology for still and
dual capture
Smile Shutter™ technology lets the
camcorder automatically take still
photos when your subject smiles, even
while shooting high definition video.
You can also set the sensitivity and
choose child, adult, or auto priority.
Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens with
SteadyShot® image stabilization
The HDR-TG5V features a professional-
quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens
designed specifically for compact
camcorders. Precision ground optics
help maintain the sharpness and
contrast of larger lenses, and
SteadyShot® image stabilization helps
reduce blur caused by camera shake.
